I'm getting married in my old hometown a state away (San Diegoiego-- close to my family since my grandma can't travel.) Planning our 11/7/2020 wedding from a state away has been difficult, but we've managed most of our big vendors for our small brunch wedding already.
I am super stressing out about logistics for booking hotel for us and our tiny wedding party. We picked the hotel closest to our venue for ease (and it's nice and dog friendly) but didn't realize how expensive it was. Part of me is ok splurging because it's our big day and we can use the hotel to get ready, etc. But the realistic part of me is stressing about money. And figuring how how exactly to book it.
And furthermore, how do we handle the bridal party? Are we expected to pay for them, too, of ensure they have a room booked? Or do we ask if people want to bunk together to save money and space? Do we offer to rent out an air bnb instead of a hotel?
Sadly because our wedding is so small, we can't room block , so that makes it difficult,too.
I'm stressed big time. Any suggestions would be lovely on how to navigate this
